The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1900 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 858 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 2:20 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation, by water and the word: from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth, her charter of salvation: one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses with every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder we see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed: yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, “How long?” and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 ’Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Topics: Conflict Spiritual; Fellowship Used With Tune: AURELIA

Thou Hidden Love of God

Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 2:20 Lyrics: 1. Thou hidden love of God, whose height, whose depth unfathomed no one knows, I see from far thy beauteous light, and inly sigh for thy repose; my heart is pained, nor can it be at rest, till it finds rest in thee. 2. 'Tis mercy all that thou hast brought my mind to seek its peace in thee; yet while I seek, but find thee not, no peace my wandering soul shall see. O when shall all my wanderings end, and all my steps to thee-ward tend? 3. Is there a thing beneath the sun that strives with thee my heart to share? Ah, tear it thence and reign alone, the Lord of every motion there; then shall my heart from earth be free, when it hath found repose in thee. 4. O Love, thy sovereign aid impart to save me from low-thoughted care; chase this self-will from all my heart, from all its hidden mazes there; make me thy duteous child that I ceaseless may "Abba, Father" cry. 5. Each moment draw from earth away my heart that lowly waits thy call; speak to my inmost soul and say, "I am thy love, thy God, thy all!" To feel thy power, to hear thy voice, to taste thy love, be all my choice.

The Law of God Is Good and Wise

Author: Matthias Loy, 1828-1915, alt. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Galatians 2:15-16 Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise And sets His will before our eyes, Shows us the way of righteousness, And dooms to death when we transgress. 2 Its light of holiness imparts The knowledge of our sinful hearts That we may see our lost estate And turn from sin before too late. 3 To those who help in Christ have found And would in works of love abound It shows what deeds are His delight And should be done as good and right. 4 But those who scornfully disdain God's Law shall then in sin remain; Its terror in their ear resounds And keeps their wickedness in bounds. 5 The Law is good; but since the fall Its holiness condemns us all; It dooms us for our sin to die And has no pow'r to justify. 6 To Jesus we for refuge flee, Who from the curse has set us free, And humbly worship at His throne, Saved by His grace through faith alone.
